Obiettivi formativi
The course aims at providing the students with a comprehensive view of the value of public-private partnership (PPPs) as a fundamental tool of governance of common interests. A fundamental goal of the program is to capture the precise juridical notion of the phenomenon, by reasoning on its essential legal features, both in the supranational and local dimensions. Learning objectives of the course include acquiring confidence with the juridical mechanism PPPs, with examples of its regulations around the world, with the juridical complexities embedded in its application and with some actual examples of PPPs.

Programma
Both the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and the European strategies for a sustainable growth consider Public Private Partnership (PPP) - i.e. contractual agreements between governments and private sector - as one of the key-elements to achieve efficiency, economic growth, social equity and environmental protection.
Indeed, PPP is a fundamental resource for sustainable development, as it mobilizes private sector resources - technical, managerial, and financial - to deliver essential public services and to pursue public interests. Examples of infrastructure projects (such as roads, railways, power generation and water and waste treatment facilities) and social projects (such as social housing or education) has increasingly spread in the last decade throughout Europe and, more generally, around the World.
The course aims at analysing the described phenomenon, providing participants with a general understanding of PPP and focuses on the dynamics incurring between the public and private interests involved.
Concrete examples of PPPs will be considered to detect best practices and concrete examples of 'sustainable PPP'.
Analytic program: Presentation of the course and introduction to PPP - Seeking a juridical definition of PPP - The international dimension - The local dimension - Analysis of the most common assertions of the doctrine and of the existing definitions - Deepening the concept of "public interest" relevant for PPP - The swift from "public interest" to common interests - The principles that guide PPP and the government of common goods - Analysis of practical cases - Student presentations
Erasmus Students: No specific programs are foreseen for Erasmus Students, but so course is recommended for them.
